Summary
I hold a degree in Marketing and Communication from the University of Padua (Italy) and a postgraduate diploma in Public and Political Communication from IED Milan. Since 2002, I’ve been working for an Italian local government, where I manage and coordinate national, EU and international projects focused on sustainable urban development, urban mobility, sustainable tourism, culture and climate. I am in charge of monitoring and control of the local projects funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan; I have contributed to numerous transnational projects funded by URBACT, EUI-European Urban Initiative, Horizon and Framework Programmes, Interreg Europe, Interreg Alpine Space, Creative Europe, European Commission international cooperation (Urb-Al and Asia Urbs). I have led EU partnerships, communication strategies, facilitated stakeholder engagement, developed networks and supported participatory processes in complex urban contexts.
From 2016 to 2019 I represented the Ministry of Research on the executive board of the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice. I work as an independent expert and project evaluator for several European programmes and institutions. As a professional trainer and lecturer, I deliver courses on EU project design, communication and project management.
